A fun place for card making, crafting, playing, sharing creativity, and maybe a little inspiration now and then.

Back to blogging!!

I feel like I've been gone forever! I had a great trip and wonderful reunion with family but it seems like every one of the grandkids had a cold and they joined forces to send it home with me. I've been really under the weather since I got home so haven't been up to posting anything until today. I haven't even been able to go to work. So, my card today kind of sums up exactly where I am. :-D

I'm barely squeaking in under the wire on the sketch challenge, which came from my favorite Thursday sketch place, Eat, Sleep, Stamp. I was afraid I'd miss playing over there this week but just had to do something for it. I turned it on its side so that it better fit the shape of my digi stamp and sentiment.

The image is one of the new releases from Doodle Pantry and their challenge is always an Anything Goes if you use a Doodle Pantry image. I chose colors from the inspiration collage at Creations by Gill M.

Everything on my card was done using up scraps from my odds & ends box, including the card base. I think it's pretty self-explanatory but will tell you that the brown flourishes are just the embossed part of the green dp. I'm still too miserable to write out all the other recipe ingredients. How about if I just list the challenges I want to play?

Glad you're back Connie - with this adorable card! Love that image and sentiment - now, we just need to get you moving quicker than this little guy! Hope you feel better soon!! It must just be something in the air - I'm FINALLY starting to feel almo9st normal again. Glad you had a good time and got to see everyone.Lynn

Connie, Those kids will do it every time. They just love to pass off their colds to us grandmothers. LOL. Great card and I love the sentiment. I hope when you get up from your nap you feel a big bunch better.

Your body knows best - get all the rest you need! I love the sentiment on your card - it's great advice! Your coloring is beautiful - I love the shading on our litte worm and the grass. Feel better soon!

Oh sweetie! Glad your back home and hopefully on the mend. Those darn kids!! LOL! I couldn't agree with you more about your card being perfect. Tie that knot and HANG ON! Great image and sentiment!!! Your mojo hasn't been affected by your cold one bit. =)

Hope you are feeling much better soon! I love that you made your card with all scraps - those are the best ones sometimes. Thanks for playing along at Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge this month. It's great to see you again!

While I'm happy you enjoyed time with family, I don't like that you brought home some germies! This little guy kinda depicts that, doesn't he? The card is super cute, with the nicest coloring, Connie. Sometimes I tie myself up in knots without even realizing it, and then I wonder what happened LOL So glad you are back. I missed you very much (((( hugs ))))

I can't explain how I missed this wonderful, sweet card of yours....perhaps it was while I was on vacation. I'm just glad I was revisiting some of my favorite blogs and came upon your card. Darling card Connie!
